::I have no problem with you not allowing others to edit the page, but rather my issue lies with you referencing the page on discussions on the Wiki, as though it were a Wiki guideline, when you very much treat it like your own user subpage (which it is), and I'm sure there would be many points of contention among users of the Wiki regarding some of your decisions (I know I have a few). The page is currently in a sort of hybrid state where it gets the benefits of both a user subpage, and a guideline article, which I think is a major issue, since often when something on the clone article is contested, either you or some other user will point to this page, as though it were authoritative.

:::I'm not Toomai, but I don't know if calling this page "authoritative" would be accurate. Is he not doing, albeit maybe a little biased, controlled testing to come to a conclusion about how closely related clones are in Smash games? I don't think it would be any different if anyone else, admin or not, were to do the same thing.

::::Agreed with the above. There is no objective answer as to what makes a clone, and someone has to draw the lines. I don't see any viable alternative to the way it's done now. [[User:Grapevine|Grapevine]] ([[User talk:Grapevine|talk]]) 15:30, February 5, 2021 (EST)
